Ethiopian? Check. Mexican? Check. Indian? You know it. Virginia? Lived here forever and never knew it had a flavor- this is it.
Finished with Walrus Oil Furniture Butter. More matte than I thought, may need to wax and buff still.
Every morning I tear a small hole in it so I can put the paper towels in the bin.
I am doing a project that involves cutting whole sheets of plywood, so I bought a new circular saw today because my last Harbor Freight special gave up the ghost. I bought a Makita this time.
In front of my wife, the boy said, loudly-
"HEY DAD! Did you buy a new circular saw? WOW, a MAKITA!"
Now, I wasn't hiding this from my wife. She saw the box. But with this comment, she asked how much it cost. She didn't really care, as it came out of my mad money from my side hustle. But down the line, he could get one of his boys in trouble!
Two important lessons: big projects are the perfect time to buy new tools, and don't talk about the tools in front of the spouses! Bonus lesson, maybe, - buy once, cry once, when you can.
